Kelly added in the video that Elon Musk "kind of turned out to be an a--hole" and that he would rather not drive around in a car "built and designed by an a--hole."
Conservatives on X were quick to mock Kelly's post.
"Literally the most stunning and brave thing a politician has ever done. It’s so brave that I have actually been moved to tears," White House rapid responder Greg Price said in a post.
"There are no more ‘moderate’ Democrats," conservative influencer account Johnny Maga posted on X in response to Kelly's video.
House Majority Speaker Mike Johnson's director of rapid response posted on X that the video shows "Elon Musk lives rent-free" in Kelly's head.
"'I bought this product because it's amazing and I'm only getting rid of it because I don't like the guy who made it' is an amazing commercial for Tesla," conservative commentator Kate Hyde posted on X.
"This is just embarrassing," Republican strategist Nathan Sproul posted on X.

"Just left Ukraine. What I saw proved to me we can’t give up on the Ukrainian people. Everyone wants this war to end, but any agreement has to protect Ukraine’s security and can’t be a giveaway to Putin," Kelly posted this week.
"You are a traitor," Musk replied.

"Traitor? Elon, if you don’t understand that defending freedom is a basic tenet of what makes America great and keeps us safe, maybe you should leave it to those of us who do," Kelly fired back.
Kelly said in a video posted yesterday he would vote "no" on the continuing resolution bill in the U.S. Senate, calling it a "partisan power grab for Donald Trump and Elon Musk."
